Interstellar formation of lactaldehyde, a key intermediate in the methylglyoxal pathway

Abstract Aldehydes are ubiquitous in star-forming regions and carbonaceous chondrites, serving as essential intermediates in metabolic pathways and molecular mass growth processes to vital biomolecules necessary for the origins of life. However, their interstellar formation mechanisms have remained...
